Members of a community-owned farm are “gutted” after a gang stole some €8,000 worth of farming equipment.

The theft at Cloughjordan Community Farm, near the Tipperary/Offaly border, took place overnight on Wednesday.

Gardaí are trying to trace the gang behind the theft and are urging people in the farming and horse trades to be on the lookout for the items.
